It's interesting because where I'm from, there was "erotica" and there was "porn". This image would at best be erotica. It would not be considered porn.
Like in US supreme Court "I know it when I see it", definition isn't straight forward but it has elements of "is it depiction of a sexual act or simply nudity ", as well as any artistic quality. Generally, erotica has high production values and porn less so.
Anyhoo! What a weird place for discussion to end up :-). The story is excellent and very hacker news appropriate, but his entire opus is pretty good. There's a bit of deus ex machine in some of qntm's work, but generally they have the right mix of surreal and puzzling and cryptic and interesting to engage a computer geek's mind :-).
